Who We Are
We are a student-led FIRST® Robotics
team based out of the Grace Hopper Center. We cover all things STEM, from programming to CAD, from
electrical to mechanical. We also have a spirited marketing and outreach department.
What We Do
The main goal for our team every year is to build
a robot to play the FIRST Robotic Competition game each year. But beyond that, KoiBots creates a
hands-on learning environment where every kid can explore their passions and expand their curiosity.
Our team structure provides leadership opportunities and encourages collaboration, problem solving, and
personal growth. While building a robot is a crucial part of the KoiBots experience, we also pride
ourselves on building where students can learn from one another and discover their potential.
How We Work
Our team consists of 60+ kids, all of whom take on
different roles. They are divided into three subteams: Mechanical, Strategy, and Admin. These subteams
are further broken up into groups like marketing, programming, logistics, etc. Each subteam is led by
two directors who oversee all operations and report to the Captains. Our team is supported by mentors
who help guide the team. Each piece intertwines and works together to keep the team moving forward.
By combining individual skills and working together across subteams, we are able to turn our ideas into
a reality and achieve great things.
